Chapter 52 is all about profit

The world is bustling for profit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info//Update fast//Uploaded by netizens==

It has been more than 20 years since the Han Dynasty fell apart and the princes were divided, and today, I am afraid that the common people of the reborn generation do not have the slightest sense of spiritual belonging to the Han Dynasty.

It is undeniable that there are still loyal and patriotic people who support the Han family, but this group is already very rare.

The biggest reason why many of the scholars under Cao Wei's rule were still in the same league as the imperial party, so that they would unanimously oppose Cao Wei's rule at some point, was that the scholars needed a banner and a political force that they could rely on.

Let these suppressed, idle, and divided scholar groups elect a representative figure to compete with Cao Wei, which is equivalent to forcing the Cao family to kill.

It is conceivable that these scholars secretly support Liu Xie's return to power, if they can rule the world, then the spring of the scholars will come again, and all they need is another puppet emperor.

Therefore, Cao Pi has to think about a countermeasure, how to win over these scholars, once successful, then Liu Xie, the Han emperor, lives and dies, no one cares, and Cao Wei will further consolidate his position and power, and it will also reach a more superb point than the Cao era.

As always, pondering in the study, Cao Pi was distraught and couldn't think of a good countermeasure, the scholar clan has always been a hidden danger, and Cao Pi now seems helpless about the situation left by Cao.

If Cao is to win over the scholars, then Cao Pi will be very easy now, if Cao and Guo Jia uproot the scholars, Cao Pi will be more and more able to do whatever he wants, but it is precisely Cao who uses the strategy of the Shu clan to suppress the scholar clan, this measure and weight are difficult for Cao Pi to control, no matter which side is heavy and which side is light, it will cause adverse consequences.

The strategy has always changed according to the changes in the current situation, how can Cao coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven to beat the scholars to death with one rod?

Even if Cao hated the corpses of the Shi clan, he still had to leave them some room to survive, but Cao Pi couldn't think of a way to overcome this situation.

Sima Yi came to see Cao Pi with Xiangfan's battle report, Cao Pi packed up the thoughts in his heart, and after reading the battle report, he immediately asked Sima Yi to summon Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Cui Yan and others to discuss the matter.

The atmosphere in the study was solemn, and Cao Wei's strategist group was not optimistic after seeing Xiangfan's battle report.

Cao Pijun's slight talent is naturally not as good as a few people in the room, he is not a stubborn monarch, he put on a low posture and patiently waited for the countermeasures of several advisers.

Cui Yan proposed that Cao Zhen of Wancheng lead the army to support Fancheng, whether it was to strengthen the defenders of Fancheng or cooperate with Cao Ren and Gan Ning in a decisive battle, the chance of victory should be above sixty percent.

"No."

As soon as Cui Yan's suggestion was spoken, it was opposed by Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's eyes, which looked old, still flashed with wisdom.

Someone wrote to Cao Pi Cheng Yu for deliberately rebelling, Cheng Yu knew about this, and it was Cao Pi who talked openly and honestly with him, just to show his trust in Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu didn't need Cao Pi's statement at all, he lived to the age when he knew the destiny of heaven, and he had long looked down on everything, and the unpopular tricks of political enemies were like clowns, and his loyalty to the Cao family was the hard work of the past 20 years, and no one could erase it.

Looking around at everyone calmly, Cheng Yu said lightly: "Who do you think the enemy is now?" Is it Ganning? Wrong, it's Guo Jia. Guo Jia has always been far-sighted, if he mobilizes Wancheng's soldiers and horses to support Fancheng, he is afraid that he will be in the middle of it. ”

Everyone in the study looked solemn, including Cao Pi, nodded in agreement.

If you think that the crisis in Fancheng can be dealt with by dealing with Gan Ning, then Cao Wei will die sooner or later!

No matter who is prestigious or invincible in the Taiping army, they are inseparable from the man who really controls the overall situation.

Cao Wei's enemy is only Guo Jia.

Xun You said indifferently: "Guo Jia has repeatedly anticipated the enemy first, and Gan Ning attacked Fancheng in the north, and the plan is probably not as simple as a Fancheng. ”

Even Xun You said this, and everyone present was in a heavy mood, and their brains were spinning.

Cheng Yu has read the battle report, which contains full favor's analysis of the Taiping army's siege strategy, in the confrontation between the two sides, the casualties are not large, but perhaps the Taiping army wants to exhaust the long-range strength of the defenders of Fancheng.

If Wancheng Cao Zhen leads the army to support Fancheng, maybe he will walk into a trap, the 100,000 Taiping troops outside Fancheng, plus the 50,000 Taiping troops in Shangyong New Town, it is difficult to guarantee that they are not waiting for Cao Wei's reinforcements!

But Fancheng must be saved!

It's just that Cheng Yu opposes the mobilization of Wancheng's soldiers and horses.

Because he was afraid that this was Guo Jiasheng's plan to attack the west or divert the tiger from the mountain.

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Yinling Flying Cavalry, none of them participated in the battle, so they have to be guarded!"

Sima Yi said a word to break Cheng Yu's worries, and at the same time sighed silently.

Last year, before Cao Hui's army went south, the deployment in Sili was a full force of troops, Cao Xiu was guarding the north of Sili, Zhang Jaw was the one who was in Luoyang, and Cao Zhen was stationed in Wancheng.

Cao Zhen's presence in Wancheng was not only a transit point for Xiangfan, but also a barrier to shake Wuguan.

If Wancheng's soldiers and horses were transferred, would Ma Chao, who had not yet appeared on any battlefield, lead 50,000 iron horsemen out of the heart of Wuguan Zhichā Central Plains!?

Guo Jia has always been full of tricks with his troops, in case the siege of Fancheng is fake, weakening Si Li's defensive strength, and then letting the northwest wolf Jinma Chao lead the army into the Central Plains, then the Central Plains of Cao Wei will fall completely!

Cao Pi closed his eyes and pondered, Wancheng's soldiers and horses couldn't move, and Xuchang had 60,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiahou Shang couldn't move.

"In this way, the only way to do this is to send the newly recruited soldiers and horses in the past six months to support Fancheng."

After Cao Pi finished speaking, he looked left and right, Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Cui Yan and others had no opinions.

Who to send?

Xiahou Yuan? Xu Huang? Li Dian? Forbidden?

After thinking about it, Cao Pi made a decision to let Yu Ban lead the army to support Fancheng.

After Cao Pi took the throne, he began to recruit troops in Hebei, and he immediately wrote a military order in person, allowing Yu Ban to lead the seven armies raised from all over the country to the south.

A decision was made on the military operation, and just as the matter was about to be concluded, Sima Yi suggested to Cao Pi: "It is better for the King of Wei to secretly contact Sun Quan in Jiangdong and encourage him to flank the Taiping army with our army." ”

If Sun Quan was willing to stab Guo Jia in the back, Cao Pi would definitely be overjoyed, but he asked suspiciously at the moment: "Jiangdong and Guo Jia are allies, but Sun Quan and I have an enmity, will he help me?" ”

"This method works."

Cheng Yu nodded in agreement with Sima Yi's suggestion.

And Sima Yi explained his intention to Cao Pi: "Sun Quan is not to help the king of Wei, but to save Jiangdong." King Wei imagined that if the Taiping army captured Fancheng, the Central Plains would be Guo Jia's bag, and at that time, would Jiangdong still survive? When Jiangdong and Guo Jia formed an alliance, the king of Wei was dominant, and now the situation is different, Guo Jia is the strongest of the three, Jiangdong now has no sense of security as an ally for Guo Jia, but is afraid, Sun Quan married his sister and daughter, it was he who was afraid that Guo Jia would turn his face, so he wanted to marry Guo Jia, so that Guo Jia had no way to cut Jiangdong, and did not dare to act rashly. ”

After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, others nodded frequently, and Cao Pi followed his advice, repaired the book, and sent someone to Jiangdong quickly.

The dust settled, and several strategists retired one after another, but Chen Qun remained in the study.

Cao Pi was about to open his mouth to ask Chen Qun what else was going on, Chen Qun took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve robe and presented it to Cao Pi with both hands, lowered his head and said indifferently: "King Wei, this is the countermeasure that King Wei asked about the matter a few days ago. ”

After Cao Pi heard this, his eyes lit up, how to win over the scholars for his own use, Cao Pi asked Chen Qun, but he didn't expect Chen Qun to really come up with a way, so he took the bamboo slip and opened it.

Nine Grades of Official Law?!

Cao Pi looked attentive, and his expression that had just relaxed was solemn again.

Chen Qun's proposal is only a prototype, but the essence is very clear.

This nine-rank official law goes a step further than the Han Dynasty's inspection system, and divides grades according to their origins.

This is tantamount to monopolizing official positions in the hands of the nobles, and it is legal.

Ordinary people want carp to jump over the dragon gate, wishful thinking!

Cao Pi didn't respond immediately after reading it, and Chen Qun bowed and retired.

Alone in the study and meditating, the bamboo slips in Cao Pi's hand were as heavy as a mountain.

He knew very well what it would mean if the system was introduced.

This is the buying and selling of political interests!

Why did Guo Jia win people's hearts? Will there be a common man who will support him physically and mentally?

The essence of this is that Guo Jia exchanged political interests.

The Yizhou clan was suppressed by Liu Yan before Guo Jia entered Shu, and Guo Jia was also purged once after he became the master, which led to the uprooting of the corporal clan under his rule.

Guo Jia's introduction of the imperial examination system was equivalent to handing over political benefits to all the common people under his rule, so Guo Jia was supported by the people.

In terms of the strategy of attacking the scholars, Guo Jia implemented a gradual and gradual plan, and gave a blow to the top when the time was ripe, not that the Yizhou scholars did not have the opportunity to oppose Guo Jia together, but they missed it and were confused and blinded by Guo Jia, so they were finally divided first, then weakened, and finally suffered a thunderous disaster.

As for Guanzhong, when Guo Jia captured it, there was no scholar clan at all, after being poisoned by Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan, Guanzhong was deserted for thousands of miles, even if there were scholars who survived, they all fled to Kanto after Guo Jia became the master.

After 20 years of development, there is no longer a scholar clan under Guo Jia's rule, and the imperial examination has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cao Wei is different, Cao Wei's situation is too complicated.

Hebei is the mess left by Yuan Shao, and it is the huge Shandong gate valve force operated by the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes.

In the Central Plains, because Cao Yi rose from the cracks, things could not be done, leaving enough breathing space for the scholars to survive.

Now, Cao Pi has to deal with making a change in political line.

He can't balance the contradictions and coexistence between the Shu and the Shi, so he has to choose between the two.

Cao Pi kept knocking on his palms while holding the bamboo slips, muttering to himself.

If he and Guo Jia follow the same line, then there will inevitably be a capitulation faction within the country.

Because since Cao Wei can't give them more benefits, or they are treated the same in front of Guo Jia and Cao Pi, why do they have to stand on Cao Pi's side?

On the contrary, if Cao Pi co-opted the scholars, then when Guo Jia attacked, there would be unprecedented internal unity, because Cao Wei fell, and these scholars would get their political benefits.

Cao Pi took a deep breath and looked determined, he had already made a decision.
