The state of Chu was recuperating for three years, and in these three years, Cao Pi of the Wei State used troops against Xu Du three times in a row, with the support of the State of Chu, each time the Wei State turned the danger into a disaster, and in the twenty-ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Wei Su General Li Dian, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, and Xiahou Dun all died one after another. www.biquge.info There are also those Cao Wei's advisers, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu.

Time is the least waiting for anyone, Ma Hong smiled happily after hearing the news of the death of these old guys one after another, originally he was still thinking that if he wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, these old guys would be his very troublesome opponents, but now these old guys are dead, which is very good for himself, saving him a lot of trouble. Cao Wei's five plots Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu all died one after another, and now Cao Wei still has a big trouble, that is, the old turtle Sima Yi. Cao Wei's relatives generals Cao Ren and Xiahoudun also died one after another, leaving behind Cao Hong, who had lived for quite a long time, and Xiahou Yuan, who should have died in history but is now alive. And Cao Wei's original five good generals, except for Zhang He, who defected to him, now only Yu Ban and Xu Huang are left.

Time is the least waiting for anyone, although Ma Hong's uprising is relatively late compared to Cao Cao, and the backbone of his subordinates are all young when they follow him to start the incident, but they are all in their twenties, but they can't escape the ravages of time, and Lu Su, Kuai Yue, and Right Sima of Chu State also served as the general of the navy, Gan Ning, also died one after another.

When the news of Gan Ning's death reached Xiangyang, Ma Hong was in the morning court, when he heard the news, he was stunned, and the whole court was silent, at this time he suddenly found that the scholars who had followed him for many years standing under the court were no longer young, and Liu Ye, the oldest of the senior brothers, was forty-nine years old and had given birth to Huafa.

After retiring from the early dynasty, Ma Hong remembered that Gan Ning had followed him for so many years, and saw himself in the mirror, with a little gray hair mixed with his long hair, and suddenly he pinched his fingers and counted that he was forty years old, he was relatively young among his senior brothers, so Fei Yi and Ma Liang, the oldest of his senior brothers, were also thirty-six years old.

Ma Hong sat in front of the mirror, calculated the age of his most important ministers and generals, and saw how many years they could accompany him, he was not very clear about how long they could live in history, but the ancients, when they could reach the age of fifty, they were already considered old, and there were very few people who could be more than sixty years old.

Ma Hong made an expectation for himself, he traveled all the year round in his youth, suffered a lot of injuries, and there were at least ten sword wounds on his body, if he could live to seventy years old, these injuries cost him at least five years of life, and now he is a king, he has to think about a lot of things every day, and then fold three years of life for him, and at the same time, as a king, he has countless beauties to enjoy, although he is also modest, but who can bear it with beautiful women, and then fold three years of life for it.

After Ma Hong finished calculating, he rubbed his eyebrows, sighed and said: "In this way, I am afraid that it will be fifty-nine, if you are lucky, you can live to fifty-nine, if you are unlucky, you may live for a few more years, it seems that you have to hurry up." Even if I could wait, they wouldn't be able to wait, and the war would end as soon as possible. ”

"I originally wanted to defeat Cao Pi and then unify Asia, play overseas, fight a dozen Europe, fight a dozen Japan, and develop Australia, but now that I think about it, it's a bit of a fool's dream, and now I finally realize the time."

In the twenty-ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Pi realized that he might not have a few years to live, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Yecheng, established the country as Great Wei, changed the Yuan Huang Dynasty, because Xu was controlled by Cao Zhang, and Luoyang became a border pass, the capital was set in Yecheng, and Cao Cao was honored as Emperor Taizu Wu.

Cao Pi openly proclaimed himself emperor, and Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty could only be stunned in Xudu, because he had been a puppet emperor for decades and had no military power, and now Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were just using him.

As for Cao Zhang, he didn't dare to be the emperor, he was afraid that he would be the emperor, and Ma Hong in the south saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, and raised troops to attack him, afraid that he would be destroyed in less than three months.

Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, at the suggestion of their subordinates, planned to send the Han Emperor to Xiangyang to Ma Hong.

After Ma Hong received Cao Zhang's letter, Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Yang Yi, Fa Zheng, Zhu Ran and others all objected, believing that Ma Hong should ascend the throne and become emperor at this moment.

Ma Hong did not agree, but in the next three months, the hundred officials jointly played three times in a row, asking Ma Hong to be the emperor.

In the end, Ma Hong summoned hundreds of officials and claimed to be emperor after breaking through the capital of Wei.

That night, Pang Tong, Zhu Ran, Yang Yi, Liu Ye, and Fei Yi secretly saw Ma Hong, Zhu Ran and Pang Tong told Ma Hong their strategy, the strategy was proposed by Zhu Ran at the beginning, and after analyzing by Pang Tong and Liu Ye, they thought it was feasible, so they came together to find Ma Hong, why use this strategy, of course, they hope to break through Yecheng as soon as possible and let Ma Hong be the emperor.

"I said, everyone, why are you in such a hurry for me to be emperor?"

Ma Hong asked.

"Hey, aren't we all thinking that we can be the founding heroes of the country while we are alive?" Pang Tong said.

Ma Hong's heart was sour when he said this, and he sighed and said: "I understand what you brothers mean, we are brothers, so don't call me the king in private." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't come, Ma Hong knew in his heart that Zhuge Liang still had nostalgia for the Han Dynasty, but Liu Ye, who was the royal prince of the Han family, had no restraint on these, he took the initiative to support Ma Hong to be the emperor, and he and Pang Tongyi asked Ma Hong to be the emperor. Ma Hong compared Liu Ye with Zhuge Liang, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart, but when he thought of Liu Bei, Ma Hong didn't blame Zhuge Liang anymore.

"Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother, I discussed with all my senior brothers, and after careful consideration, I came to offer advice to Senior Brother." Zhu Ran said.

Ma Hong rubbed his eyebrows, glanced at Zhu Ran and said, "It seems that the early dynasty has not been long until now, why have you thought twice?" ”

Pang Tong tapped his fingers on the table and said, "There are five of us, and one person has thought about it five times, why can't we think twice?" ”

Ma Hong smiled bitterly: "Okay! Let's talk about it! ”

Later, under Zhu Ran's explanation, Ma Hong gradually figured out what they were going to do.

Zhu Ran's strategy is very bold, to be precise, it can't be said to be very bold, it is extremely bold.

After Zhu Ran discussed with Pang Tong, Liu Ye, Yang Yi, and Fei Yi, the strategy drawn up was that Zhu Ran led 200 ironclad warships from Wujun in Yangzhou, through the East China Sea to the Yellow Sea, and transported 150,000 soldiers to Beihai Country in Qingzhou, where they landed from Beihai State, and then 150,000 soldiers quickly controlled the entire Qingzhou and advanced to Yecheng.
