After Cao Pi became emperor, he was busy solving his brothers, and Liu Bei was busy licking the wounds of the battle of Yiling in Yizhou, and the three kingdoms passed smoothly for half a year, but this is the era of the Three Kingdoms, which is an era of opportunities and wars.

On the road leading to Wancheng, a large army is hurrying forward.

It was the winter solstice, the grass was wearing a curtain, and where the horse's hooves and footsteps had stepped on, the dead grass and snowflakes were flying all over the sky. And in the rolling mist, countless banners with the word "Wei" written on them are dancing in the wind.

At the center of the procession, a royal chariot covered with a yellow umbrella cover, surrounded by 500 tigers and leopards, marched prominently on the avenue.

On the royal chariot, Cao Pi's eyes were slightly closed, his brows were darkly locked, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping, as if he was dozing off, and as if he was closing his eyes and contemplating something.

He didn't understand why his father, Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Ying, chose to cede the entire Xiangyang County to Eastern Wu after crossing the Lantian Martial Pass and settling in Xiangyang, but he took an empty army of 100,000 and rushed back to Yecheng.

Later, Cao Pi thought that he understood, and he thought that Cao Ying knew that his limit was approaching, so he would rather have one less county and one city than return to Yecheng alive to pave the way for his smooth accession, for which Cao Pi was grateful.

But the turmoil in Yecheng at the end of last year made him understand that his father was not an ordinary person, and he had expected what was behind him as early as before, Cao Ying knew that after his death, none of his sons could suppress the group of proud and domineering Qingzhou soldiers, so he brought the Qingzhou soldiers to a relatively safe encirclement.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Wenjing once commented on Li Shimin, calling him: "This is a very person, open-minded like Henkel, Shenwu is the same as Wei Zu, although he is young, he is also talented in life." It can be seen that at that time, Emperor Wu of Wei was a heroic figure of great talent and a level of Han Gaozu, and ordinary emperors generally only got the title of politician or military strategist in later generations, and the top emperor had both; And the emperor who is also a military strategist, politician, poet, and family has been in China for 5,000 years, except for Wei Wu, there is only the one on the yuan. It can be seen that as the son of Lao Cao, Cao Pi is under a lot of pressure!

Finally, he mustered up the courage to accept Jia Kui's suggestion, and in order to prevent the Qingzhou soldiers from rebelling, he unconditionally provided them with food and money to go home, so that this army, which had made great contributions to Cao Wei, after the last time to pay tribute to the court that had served them all their lives, returned to the fields and lived a leisurely peasant life.

It took great effort to cut off the military power of several of his brothers, especially Cao Zhang, one by one, and drove them all back to the feudal state to be raised in captivity, stabilizing the royal family of the newly established Great Wei regime. More importantly, it also received Cao Zhang's subordinates, who guarded the northern frontier many times, and the elite troops outside the fortress were as many as 30,000 people.

As a result, Cao Pi, who had sat firmly in the country, remembered to deal with Dongwu, who had only experienced the Battle of Yiling. Since Xiangyang County was already the territory of Wu, this battle that took place entirely in the internal territory of Wu, Cao Pi could not get much information, and even if there were, most of them were vague. However, in Cao Pi's view, Liu Bei is now shrinking in Yizhou, and his power has shrunk greatly, and it seems that he has been seriously injured, so since Liu Bei was seriously injured, the Eastern Wu who defeated Liu Bei must have suffered a lot of losses.

In October of the second year of Wei Huangchu, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei took Cao Xiu as the general of the expedition to the east to supervise Huang Yue, supervised the former general Zhang Liao, the right general Xu Huang, the Yuzhou assassin Shi Jia Kui, etc., and more than 20 troops of Zhuzhou County attacked from the western front and entered Fancheng and Xinye to look at Xiangyang, and the general Cao Zhen of the upper army, the general Xiahou Shang of Zhengnan, and the left general Zhang He were stationed in Shangyong, the general Cao Ren, the general Yu Ban, and the general Yangwu Man Chong attacked Anfeng County from Runan.

And Cao Pi himself took Sima Yi as the army and gave the matter, and Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others were also staff officers, and Xu Chu, the general of Wuwei, was the general of the Chinese army, and led the Chinese army of 30,000 to enter Wancheng.

In this battle, Cao Wei's elite exhausted all the tiger cavalry generals who were still in Cao's life, and the five Ziliang generals all participated in the battle except for the other four who hung up Lejin, and the Chinese army was exhausted, and the army gathered, a full 200,000 army, known as a million, swept the world and overpowered Jingzhou. Even Qiao Ren could only say weakly when he heard it, what a big hand?????????????????????????????????????????????????

"What a big deal!"

In the Xuanhua Hall of Jianye Taichu Palace, when the five senses Zhonglang General said this urgent report from Xiangyang County, everyone in the hall was stunned, but Qiao Ren was stunned and said a big hand.

The 200,000 real army, looking at the Three Kingdoms era, is second only to Yuan Shao's 23 infantry cavalry during the Battle of Guandu, and stronger than Cao Ying's 170,000 land and water army during the Battle of Chibi. Moreover, during the battle of Guandu, there were only 100,000 elite soldiers in the Guandu battlefield, and the rest were either auxiliaries or in the Qingzhou battlefield on the eastern front and the merge state battlefield on the western front.

"Your Majesty! Ask Liu Bei for help, let him either go out of Zigui and join us and other coalition forces, or go out of Hanzhong to attack the Wei army! Da Sima Zhang Zhao was the first to speak, although he is a big Sima, he is also a literati, easy to get into words, 200,000 is scary enough to look at.

"Da Sima, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Zhuge Jin, the overseer general who was most familiar with the Han army, said: "In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was injured and his bones were broken, and he couldn't afford to lose when he returned to Zigui and joined forces with our army. And out of Hanzhong, Qinchuan is difficult to go, it is estimated that Liu Bei of Shu County will kill the Xiegu and Kei Valley at the end of next year, Liu Bei, we can't count on it. ”

"Then it's all up to us to fight?" Zhang Zhao asked unconvincedly, even if the whole army of Eastern Wu is mobilized, it will be able to find a 1450,000 army, but the 40,000 troops on the eastern front cannot move, and Zang Ba in Xuzhou has not been transferred to the western front. Jingzhou has only 70,000 or 80,000 available troops, plus Jianye's five armies are full of 130,000 people, although the strength is not disparity, there is also a gap, and more than 20,000 troops in Eastern Wu are pure water troops, and fighting land battles is purely the kind of sending people to death.

"Yes!" Zhuge Jin said softly to Zhang Zhao, if it hurts morale so much, Zhuge Jin can't be high-sounding.

"All right, everybody. The Lone King has never been afraid of anyone in his life. During the Battle of Chibi, Wei Wu's 170,000 army was not burned to ashes by Gong Jin, at that time Gong Jin was only 50,000 people, and now the Lone King has dozens of good generals and thousands of generals, and the army of 100,000 is still afraid of him. Hum! ”

Since ancient times, the more soldiers and horses, the more the ability to test the school for the handsome, Zhuge Wuhou has hardly won many battles in his life, but he is still regarded as a handsome talent, because of his strong ability to general, you must know that it is all up to him to command, and he can do the order and prohibition, but not everyone can do it. Therefore, there is also an allusion that Han Xin ordered more troops to highlight the unparalleled command ability of the great general Han Xin. (Of course, it's not Liu Bang's sycophant)

Therefore, for a novice on the battlefield, Sun Ce was very skeptical that Cao Pi could command so many people to fight, and perhaps Cao Pi couldn't even calculate how much grain and grass each army of 200,000 people needed. (People eat grain and horses eat grass, which involves how many infantry, how many cavalry, how many auxiliaries, and how many horses, mules, and donkeys are used for carrying the 200,000 army)

Maybe there will be someone Cao Pi as long as he can general, and he doesn't need generals, but Cao Pi Tongshou is not in the rear to supervise the war at this time, if he appoints Cao Ren or Cao Xiu as the commander of the three armies, the general consul will be just the war. But he personally led the Chinese army to sit in Wancheng and control the overall situation remotely, just like Wei Wu back then. There is no commander appointed, so the various armies actually have to listen to Cao Pi's dispatch, but it is unknown whether he has the ability.

And beside him, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others are all pure strategists, politicians can only give opinions and can't have any substantive help for his command, as for Sima Yi, I'm sorry! At present, King Sima Xuan does not even have the experience of leading troops alone, let alone commanding them.

Therefore, Sun Ce and Qiao Ren, the two brothers, were not very worried about the huge army of 200,000, as long as they guarded it tightly, it would not take a few months for Cao Pi to bear it himself. The grain consumed by the 200,000 army is more than half a year's tax for a county, and how many prefectures and counties in Cao Wei can pay grain taxes.

"The king is slow, and the ministers risk death to admonish! I also hope that the king will pardon the sins of his ministers first. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Du in the hall looked at Qiao Ren in surprise, I don't know what Qiao Ren is doing? Is Qiao Ren still afraid of Sun Ce's punishment?

"Ziyan, do you want to stop the Lone King from conquering?"

"Not really!" Qiao Ren suddenly tidied up his clothes, stood up from the seats in the first row, walked to the hall and bowed to Sun Ce and said at the same time: "Brother is panicked, I implore His Royal Highness King Wu to enter the emperor's throne!" Reign over the world and illuminate all directions. ”

"Whew!" There was still an uproar in the palace, and the wise people understood in an instant, according to the legal theory, the Wei Empire, which was inherited from the Han Dynasty, was the suzerainty of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, and the Wu and Wei wars were worse than the following, but if Sun Ce was called the emperor, the two countries were at war, and the Wei State was still in the position of an aggressor.

This is not a last resort, in order to give the war the surname of the war as a war of aggression, Sun Ce had to risk the disapproval of the world to claim the emperor, anyway, Eastern Wu has been under the rule of Sun Ce since Jian'an, Sun Ce already has absolute authority, the family is also the heart, the emperor did not obstruct, and not like Sun Quan in history.

"Good, Lone King! No, I will succeed to the throne after the third decision, and the source of obscurity is positive! Sun Ce's eyes flashed, and then he laughed, saying that he had been thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to get Cao Pi's help.

Qiao Ren was overjoyed, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince Sun Ce, and he was even more afraid that the ministers would oppose it, but now it seemed that he was too worried, Sun Ce agreed very much, and the ministers did not have any objections, so he added oil.

"My emperor, the descendant of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhuan, the descendant of Emperor Yu Shun Chonghua, and the righteousness of Huanghuang is fortunate to be heavenly." Qiao Ren spoke out and created a little momentum for Sun Ce to be the emperor.

The descendants of the surname Yao and the surname of the concubine - the ancient ancestor of the Sun family, Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua, Descendants of the Yellow Emperor: Emperor → Changyi→ → Poor Cicada→ Jingkang→ Juwang→ Niu → Gusuo→ Yu Shun→ Yu Yan's father→ Chen Hu Gongfu (sealed), → Shen Gongxi, Marquis → Xianggong Gaoyang→ Xiao Gongdu, → Shen Yuanrong→ Yougong Ning→ Li Gongxiao→ Wu Gongling→ Yi Gong→ Ping Gongxie→ Wen Gongyuan→ Huan Gongbao→ Li Gongtuo→ Gongzi Wan (later fled to Qi State), → Shanju Mengyi→ Mengzhuang→ Wenzi must be without → Huan Zi Wuyu → Tianshu (given the surname Sun). The surname of Yue An Sun of Qi is the ancestor of the Sun family, and Sun Wu is the descendant of Sun Shu, a native of Yue An of Qi State, so Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who claim to be descendants of Sun Wu, can naturally be regarded as the descendants of His Majesty the Yellow Emperor. It is generally believed that the ancestor of the surname Sun is Sun Shu (Tian Shu). (To be continued.) )
