The above document mentions that Ma Liang sent Tong Jun to exterminate the remnants of the Wei army led by Wang Yi, so that the stability of Dongjun was restored. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, the scale of the rebellion of the bandits Xu Qingyang and Mu Baidu in the Wei State became more and more intense, which made the people of the Wei Dynasty panic and could not live all day.
What's more, Xu Qingyang of Jizhou gathered more than 100,000 people and spread all over the counties of Jizhou, attacking and harassing all counties. Xu Qingyang learned the lesson of the failure of the Yellow Turban Zhangjiao, once he learned that the officers and soldiers were coming, if the troops were too small, he would attack them with crowds; If the officers and soldiers are strong, immediately lead the troops away and flee away.
When the news reached the court of the Wei State, the government and the opposition of the Wei State were in chaos, and all the officials in the court and the central government were panicked.
The first emperor Cao Ang met with his ministers and asked for countermeasures.
But listen to Cao Ang preach: "Today, my Great Wei is plagued by internal and external troubles, and there are natural disasters raging and thieves everywhere, causing the people to be miserable and displaced; Outside, there are soldiers and horses of the Han Emperor on the border, staring at the fertile land of our Central Plains. May I ask that Aiqing to plan for me? ”
Above the court, the civil and military officials looked at each other, all shaking their heads and sighing. Seeing this scene, Emperor Wei Cao Ang closed his eyes in pain, his face was very ugly, and it seemed that his anger had reached the verge of exploding.
After seeing it, Cao Pi, the king of Wenzhao, came out of the ranks, pointed at the ministers and shouted: "You are waiting to eat my family's food, and no one is willing to give advice at this time of crisis!" Why is that?"
Sima Yi, the governor of the capital, came out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, King Wenzhao, the old minister thinks that thieves are not the key; The key is how to beware of the Han army! At present, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han army are gathered on the border of our country, and it is not clear when they will launch an attack. ”
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Ang slowly opened his eyes and said, "Then according to Aiqing's intentions, what should I do?" ”
Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Gongsun Yue's father and son?" ”
Gongsun Yue?
When Cao Ang heard this name, he suddenly remembered and asked, "But that Gongsun Yue who went to Liaodong back then?" ”
"Exactly. Your Majesty, now the Central Plains is suffering from natural disasters, while Liaodong has no war to speak of, and there are no natural disasters to cause. Why not move the capital to Liaodong? Sima Yi said.
Moving the capital to Liaodong?
Emperor Cao Ang of Wei had a sad look on his face, and muttered to himself: "My father fought for the Han Dynasty in the south and in the north, and was slandered as a Han thief by Liu Qian, Liu Shengju and others. In order to make a living, his old man had to take refuge in Yuan Benchu. However, there is no one in the Yuan family, and it is difficult to succeed! In times of crisis, I was fortunate to have the princes, so that I could achieve the world, but also protect the country and defend the frontier. ”
As he spoke, he stood up tremblingly and slowly stepped off the dragon chair.
Cao Pi, the king of Wenzhao, hurriedly stepped forward to help.
But seeing him wave his hand, he rejected Cao Pi's kindness, and then said: "The Sixth Emperor Brother and the Eighth Emperor Brother have now fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that in the near future, this world will change its dynasty and surname!" ”
"Brother Huang! ......" Cao Pi, the king of Wenzhao, and Cao Zhang, the king of Wucheng, came over one after another.
He turned his head and said to Cao Pi: "Second brother, because my brother has no children, this country can only be handed over to you." Over the years, you have recruited talents and taken in righteous people, and you already have a group of people. Presumably, even the Metropolitan Governor Sima Yi is under your command! ”
"This ......!" Cao Pi never expected that the small actions over the years had been known to Cao Ang clearly, and he was speechless for a while.
Cao Ang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Biao, Cao Shuo and others: "You must remember, this time you go to Liaodong, you must be good to assist King Wen Zhao." You and others don't have the conditions to be emperors, only Ziheng. Maybe my position was given to Ziheng earlier, and my Dawei wouldn't have the situation I have today! ”
"Brother Huang!" Hearing Cao Ang's words, Cao Pi was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he kowtowed fiercely and begged for mercy: "Brother Huang, don't you dare!" Foolish brother doesn't dare! ”
Cao Zhang and others are close to Cao Ang's lineage, and they can't get used to Cao Pi on weekdays. None of them thought that Cao Ang would talk about these things, and they were all stunned on the spot for a while.
Cao Ang seems to be determined to do this.
He helped Cao Pi up and said, "Second brother, my father's ambition in his life is to make my Cao family famous in history. As a brother and a martial artist, it seems that it is difficult to take on a heavy responsibility. ”
As he spoke, he patted Cao Pi on the shoulder and came to Sima Yi.
"Sima Aiqing, do you know why I didn't punish you when you were defeated again?" He asked Sima Yi with a smile.
"The old minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." Sima Yi bowed his head and reached.
Cao Ang saw Sima Yi bow his head, nodded and said, "This is not a crime of war, but the will of God!" Jinqing talked about moving the capital to Liaodong, which really alleviated the urgent need now. However, I can't move the capital! Now that the country is in turmoil, moving the capital is even more disturbing to the people! ”
With that, he snorted and turned back to the dragon chair.
Sitting down in a robe, the first emperor reversed his previous lazy attitude and shouted: "Spread my will, after my death, I will be succeeded by Cao Pi, the king of Wenzhao." From now on, King Cao Zhang of Wucheng and other kings accompanied King Wenzhao and his family to Liaodong; Summoned all the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou and Jizhou to return to Kyoto, led by Sima Yi, the governor of the capital, and followed King Wenzhao into Liao! ”
"Cheng Xi, the general of the expedition to the north, led the Boyang soldiers and horses back to Kyoto; The herald ordered Deng Ai, the general of Zhenxi, to lead the guards of the Great Wall back to Kyoto; The herald ordered the Annan general Guo Huai to lead the Wei soldiers and horses back to Kyoto; The herald ordered the Zhennan general Cao Xiu to lead the Dongping soldiers and horses back to Kyoto. ”
Then Cao Ang passed down the will of Si Dao, but it frightened everyone in the court!
Sima Yi, Cao Zhang, and others hurriedly went out of class and knelt down on top of the court, and admonished: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" As soon as the soldiers and horses of the four cities withdrew, our country opened the door. The Han army can travel thousands of miles in a day, and the army will come to the city in a few days. ”
In fact, Cao Ang knew in his heart that he wanted to send the army to Liaodong, and then concentrate the soldiers and horses of these four cities to fight the Han army. It's just that he didn't expect that these soldiers and horses of the four cities would be the opponents of the Han army's iron cavalry?
After some arguments, Cao Ang retracted his fate.
At present, the Wei army exceeded 400,000, and 300,000 were taken away by Sima Yi. Cao Zhang's desperate admonition finally persuaded Cao Ang, and he, Cao Shuo, and Cao Xiong stayed with the wolf soldiers. However, Cao Pi and others drove to Liaodong under the escort of Sima Yi's army.
Wei's actions soon spread to the capital of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Hongwu of the Han Dynasty summoned his ministers.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang wrote: "Your Majesty, it has been a few months since the spring cold. The Wei State was in turmoil, and Emperor Wei sent a large army into Liaodong. The minister thought that there were three moves: first, the Wei State had been defeated repeatedly over the years, and Cao Ang felt ashamed of Cao Mengde, so he had the heart to stay behind. second, he made Sima Yi lead a large army into Liaodong, and asked Cao Pi and others to bring their relatives with him, which seemed to be intended to hand over the power after his death to Cao Pi; Third, the defenders of the four cities at the junction have not moved, they are just bluffing, and there is no backup for the four cities, and the destruction is in sight! ”
Liu Jin, the generalissimo of the Northern Frontier Army and King Chun, asked: "What does the prime minister mean, is this the opportunity to go out to fight?" ”
"Not yet!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Emperor Hongwu asked puzzledly: "According to what the prime minister said just now, isn't it the emptiness in the Wei State?" ”
"Your Majesty, King Chun Chitose, I should first make contact with Xu Qingyang of Jizhou at this time. As long as Xu Qingyang is willing to help, the Central Plains is just around the corner! Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Even! It turns out that the prime minister thinks so! Liu Jin understood at this moment, and turned to ask the Son of Heaven for an order, "Brother Huang, the younger brother of the courtiers rushed to the frontier and prepared for the expedition." When Xu Qingyang is contacted, he will cooperate with him inside and outside to recapture the Central Plains! ”
The Son of Heaven saw that King Chun looked eager to try, nodded, and said, "It's time to recover the Central Plains." What a rare opportunity! If Xu Qingyang is not a big traitor, he can be accepted as an official and a half-time position in the future! ”
"My brother knows."
Zhuge Liang helped King Chun choose an auspicious day for the zodiac.
Emperor Hongwu, the Son of Heaven, personally led his ministers to send Liu Jin, the king of Chun, out of Beijing.
Liu Jin, the king of Chun, bid farewell to his imperial brother and led 20,000 soldiers of the escort brigade to the state first.
And the state of Taiyuan Mansion, the capital protector Xu Mo with the eight generals under his command welcomed King Chun into the city.
Liu Jin sat down on the handsome seat and asked, "What is the movement on the Great Wall?" ”
Xu Mo said: "There is no movement. However, most of the rebellious people in Jizhou have come to the foot of the Great Wall these days. This area has not been eroded by the severe cold, and there are many wild fruits growing on the mountains, and the people can also mix some food on the mountains! ”
Liu Jin nodded, and asked again: "Is the guard of the Great Wall of Wei the stuttering Deng Ai Deng Shizai?" ”
"Exactly!" Xu Mo replied.
"This person is quite capable, resourceful, and has to defend this trench, if he attacks it, it is really a plan." Liu Jin's evaluation of Deng Ai is really high.
"The last general has confronted this man a few times. This man is thoughtful and cautious in marching, and he is really a general! As soon as Xu Mo talked about Deng Ai, he had a headache.
Liu Jin smiled at Xu Mo and said, "Tomorrow, you will wait for all the soldiers of Taiyuan, outside the Great Wall of Chen Bing, and form a confrontation with them!" ”
"No!" Xu Mo knew that this was the task of the general attack on Wei, so he resolutely responded.
After arranging the annexation of the state, Liu Jin, the king of Chun, led the escort brigade to Yanzhou.
Xue Li, the protector of Yanzhou, rushed to Chaoge to greet King Chun.
After taking Liu Jin to Chen Liucheng, Xue Li handed a letter to the king of Chun and said: "When the last general learned that Emperor Wei had sent a large army to Liaodong, he knew that his country was in turmoil, so he sent people to Jizhou to find the bandit leader Xu Qingyang. This is Xu Qingyang's handwritten letter. ”
Liu Jin opened the letter and read it, nodded incessantly, and after reading it for a long time, he closed the letter and said, "I didn't expect this Xu Qingyang's request to be very high!" Okay, this time to recover the Central Plains, it seems that there really doesn't have to be too many twists and turns! ”
"That's it! As long as this Xu Qingyang is willing to take refuge in the imperial court, it will not be difficult for our army to capture Wei County and Dongping! Xue Li said.
