Yecheng.

In the palace of the king of Wei, Cao Cao feasted his ministers to celebrate the victory of Misukou and the surrender of Sun Quan.

The banquet dispersed, and sent away the envoy Xu Xiang of Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao asked people to leave Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Cao Pi.

"Today, there are Eastern Wu ministers and marriages, and Jiangdong has been decided. However, Liu Bei of Xishu took advantage of the lonely use of troops in Wu and the emptiness of Hanzhong's troops to fight for it...... Zhongde, Wenhe, and you think, how to deal with it? Looking at Cheng Yu and Jia Xu sitting below, Cao Cao felt a sigh of urgency for no reason.

Thinking back then, Cao Wei's five advisers, and only Cheng Yu and Jia Xu are left, but they are also old, Cheng Yu is seventy-seven years old this year, Jia Xu is a few years younger, but he is also seventy-one.

Even if it is himself, he is now over the age of sixty-three.

"Ahem, ahem......"

Cheng Yu, whose hair was already white, coughed a few times, and after the New Year, his body felt worse than before, if it wasn't an important thing, Cheng Yu would spend more time at home to raise him. took a sip of wine, perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, his face was a little ruddy, and although he was old, his eyes that were not cloudy shot out two fiercely, and said: "The king, Sun Quan Xiao'er, repeatedly!" Today's minister is actually his way of self-preservation, and he has been going forward several times. Although he is married and has a proton, he will stab him in the back if he has the opportunity. The king should also be cautious, and not take it lightly...... According to the old minister's opinion, the autumn wind should sweep away the leaves, take advantage of the power of this great victory, and pacify Jiangdong in one fell swoop, so as to be done once and for all. ”

"As for Xishu Liu Bei......"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu snorted and said disdainfully: "Liu Bei is planning to seize the foundation of the same sect, there are many disobedient people in Xichuan, and there are riots among the barbarians in southern Xinjiang. At the same time, there are two generals, Miaocai and Gongming, in Hanzhong, and it is true that there is land loss, but Hanzhong should be safe. ”

"The king only needs to destroy Jiangdong in one fell swoop, and destroy an enemy at a small price, even if he loses Hanzhong, why not? At that time, when the king frees his hand, will he still be worried? ”

"Having said that, I am worried that if I am persecuted, Sun Quan will definitely fight to the death, Jiangdong is based on water, it is not easy to destroy, and there is even more pressure from Sun and Liu's alliance, if the three places fight together, although our army is strong, it may not win." Cao Cao shook his head, although he also wanted to destroy Jiangdong in one fell swoop, but he also knew that it was not realistic, otherwise, he would not accept Sun Quan's surrender.

How could he not know that Sun Quan's surrender was fake, and the opportunity to breathe was real.

If it weren't for the fear that fighting with him Cao Cao would give Liu Bei a chance to make a big deal and reap the benefits of the fisherman, how could Sun Quan surrender so happily.

Cao Cao naturally knows what is involved.

Glancing at Cheng Yu, Cao Cao smiled with nostalgia, this old man, old and old, is still the same as back then, he is so tough, and what he said is not what he expected.

However, Liu Bei is really a disease of scabies, is it not a cause for concern? If Liu Bei really takes Hanzhong, and then he will be able to spy on the Central Plains and march into Luoyang, Si and Yongerzhou will be in danger.

Unless, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang can hold Hanzhong.

Turning his head to look at Jia Xu, he asked, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu raised his head slowly, if he didn't look at his eyes, he would only think that this was an ordinary old man. I only heard him say slowly: "King, you mean Guan Yu?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Jia Xu was saying something to him before, and nodded immediately: "Yes, it is Yun Chang who is worried about Lone...... If Sun Liu really joins forces, the one who can stab a lone one in the back is none other than Yun Chang! ”

"It's a nuisance......"

Jia Xu nodded, his head sank, and he was silent again.

Cao Cao waited for a long time, but did not respond, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but smile again, as if he was remembering, and seemed to be smiling bitterly.

This old guy, if he doesn't force him to a certain extent, he can't be forced to do dry goods!

Cao Cao shook the wine in the cup lightly, looked at Jia Xu, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Wenhe, if there is a countermeasure, please also consult Lonely. ”

"This ......"

Jia Xu knew that he couldn't do anything and couldn't escape, so he said: "King, you can punish one person to attack and distribute." ”

Attacking the undercut?

Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, look at me, I look at you, a strange color flashed in his eyes, Cao Cao hurriedly said to Cao Pi: "Pi'er, take the map and take a look at Lonely." ”

"Yes, Father."

Cao Pi answered, and after a while, he took a map and came over.

"Wonderful!"

"That's wonderful! Wenhe's strategy, Yu is not as good as it! ”

Looking at the map, after finding the geographical location on it, Cao Cao and Cheng Yu couldn't help but light up in front of them, and praised them repeatedly, Cheng Yu said: "Liu Bei sent troops to Hanzhong, divided the troops into two roads, one of them, his personal Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals, are now facing off with Miaocai and Gongming two generals in Yangping Pass; On the second road, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan and others captured Wudu and occupied Xiafen...... In the hands of the enemy, it is almost equivalent to cutting off the supply of food and grass to the two generals Miaocai and Komeito, and it is not easy to hold on. If you can firmly hold the subordinate in the hands of our army, then Hanzhong will be safe! ”

"Not bad!"

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, but then frowned again, and said, "Strategy is the best policy, but the question is, who will command the troops?" ”

"You can make Cao Hong handsome." Cheng Yu said.

"No!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "He is a lonely brother, but he can't be paralyzed." Although Zilian is old enough, he is frivolous and impetuous, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. ”

"What the king said is true, but it is really difficult to choose anyone other than General Zilian...... Unless it is seconded from another place, such as the mouth of the water, our army has won a big victory, and it is worry-free for the time being. Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.

Cao Cao shook his head again and denied: "In terms of time, it's too late." ”

"Father, the son recommends one person!"

At this time, Cao Pi, who had lowered his head for a while, suddenly raised his head, hesitated, and said.

"Oh?"

Glancing at his son, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Wu'er, who do you recommend?" ”

"Cao Xiu!"

"Hugh?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said: "Xiu'er, he has a calm temperament, and he is also quite military, so he is indeed a handsome choice." However, after all, his qualifications are a little shallow, if he is the commander, those arrogant soldiers in the lonely army will defend the generals, and those old guys will not accept it, and they are worried that he will not be able to surrender. ”

Cao Pi said: "Father, you can make Uncle Zilian a handsome and Wen Lie to join the army." ”

"Zilian is handsome, Wen Lie is to join the army......" Cao Cao read it a few times in his mouth, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked at Cao Pi with a burning eye, and said: "Pi'er, you shouldn't mean just that...... Well, if Zilian is handsome on the surface, but secretly he is headed by Wen Lie, but he doesn't lose a clever move! ”

"With Wenlie's calmness, supplemented by Zilian's qualifications, it can be expected!"

"That's exactly what Erchen meant."

Glancing at his son with satisfaction, Cao Cao was very relieved, smiled very happily, and said Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, and said: "Zhongde, Wenhe, you think Zihuan is ......"

At this moment, as soon as the door opened, Xu Yang strode in from the outside, and Cao Cao's half words were immediately swallowed back into his stomach. When Xu Chu approached, he bowed and said, "King, Hedong is in a hurry!" ”

As he spoke, he handed a letter in both hands.

"Hedong?"

Cao Cao frowned at that time, took the letter suspiciously, opened it to read, and said, "What is Du Ji doing...... Could it be that the remnants of the high-level cadres have revived...... Uh, uh......"

Looking at it, Cao Cao looked like he had seen a ghost.

It wasn't until he finished reading the letter that Cao Cao closed his eyes again, his face changed, and in the end, he actually showed a look of remembrance.

"The King's ......"

Cheng Yu wanted to speak and stopped.

Cao Cao opened his eyes, pushed the letter forward on the table, and said, "Zhongde, Wenhe...... Well, and Pi'er, you can also take a look. ”

After a while, the three of them read the letter with different expressions.

Cao Cao looked at the south, which was the direction of Jingzhou, and said in a leisurely voice: "I think that back then, Yun Chang hung the seal and sealed the gold, left alone, passed five passes and cut six generals, and rode alone for thousands of miles, achieving a good story for a while...... In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the scene of that year is like in front of me, and I can't help but sigh when I think of it now. ”

"More than ten years have passed, and now there is a son, who went south to Jingzhou, passed three passes and killed eight generals, and protected his mother for thousands of miles to find his father, which is worthy of being the son of Brother Yun...... Brother Yun, there is a future......"

Later, I don't know what it's like.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but say: "King, Guan Suo Xiao'er passed the test, but he really didn't put the king in his eyes, and left it as a trouble, it was better to kill him early!" ”

Cao Pi also said: "Yes, father, if everyone is like his father and son, where is the majesty of my Wei Kingdom?" ”

Jia Xu still looked half-dead, with his head down, drinking wine, no one knew what he was thinking. If it weren't for seeing him sitting there, Xu would have forgotten his existence.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu, Cao Pi, and then at Jia Xu, and said for a while: "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu raised his eyelids and said, "The king has already made up his mind for a long time, why bother asking?" ”

"You......"

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was also used to Jia Xu like this. I took the letter and read it again, and said with a smile: "Back then, Huarong Dao Shangyun Chang didn't kill me Cao Cao, how can I Cao Cao kill his son now?" ”

"Let him go!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "The king ......"

"Father's ......"

"Needless to say...... The right is to repay the grace of Yun Chang not to kill back then. ”

……

Midnight.

Cao Pi returned to his house.

"The second son doesn't seem to be in a very happy mood, but what happened?" Seeing that Cao Pi sank his face after he came back, and he didn't say or laugh but just drank with his head bored, Sima Yi raised his eyebrows lightly and asked puzzledly.

It is said that Cao Jun has won a big victory recently, and today he held a banquet to entertain the Jiangdong envoys, except for Hanzhong, which can be described as a happy event, and there should be no unhappy things.

Could it be that Cao Zhi won the appreciation of the King of Wei?

Thinking of this, a trace of disappointment flashed imperceptibly in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Zhongda, do you still remember Guan Yu who passed five levels and killed six generals back then?" Seeing Sima Yi nodded, Cao Pi continued in a condensed voice: "Hehe, Zhongda, you would never have thought that after so many years, the scene of that year was staged in my Cao Wei again, do you think this is ridiculous?" ”

"Oh?" Sima Yi was a little interested.

At that moment, Cao Pi told Sima Yi in Du Ji's letter, and finally said: "Father, he is too merciful, and he still thinks about the grace of Huarong Dao not to kill...... Hmph, if I see it, I should send a message to all places and besiege and kill Guan Suo. If he is really allowed to arrive in Jingzhou safely, at that time, where will my Cao family's face be placed? ”

"Kill indeed!"

Sima Yi's eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "If you talk about kindness, the king of that year can also be said to be benevolent and righteous to Guan Yu, get on the horse to give gold, get off the horse to give silver, three or five days a small reward, ten days a big reward, that is, later he hung the seal and sealed the gold and left, the king also let go all the way, no resentment, speaking of which, Guan Yu is owed the king's kindness, otherwise, there may not be Huarong Dao's private feelings." ”

"Counting it up, the king doesn't owe him anything to the Guan family, at this moment today, even if he kills Guan Suo, no one in the world can say that the king is not...... Second son, what do you mean? ”

"I want to kill him, does Zhongda have a way to teach me?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Guan Suo Xiao'er wants to go to Jingzhou, and the choice is nothing more than two roads, one is Wancheng, and the other is Wuguan...... Yi heard that General Cao Ren was quite at odds with Guan Yu back then, and even wanted to kill him quickly, the second prince only needed to tell Guan Suo about it, if he went all the way to Wancheng, it would be difficult not to die! ”

"But if you go to the martial arts......"

"If you go to Wuguan, it will be easier to do, just tell it the same...... Is the second son worried that Xun Yi dares to release Guan Suo privately? Although rest assured, the second son should not forget how his father died. If Xun Yi dares to let it go privately, what will the king think? Sima Yi guided him step by step.

"I'm glad Zhongda taught me!"
