Cao Cao personally conquered Guanzhong, so that the crown prince Cao Pi was in charge of the country, supplemented by Xun and Jia Xu.

In fact, when the ministers dissuaded Cao Cao from conquest, some people also proposed, or let the prince lead the troops instead of His Majesty, Chang Lin, the resignation squire, immediately objected: "Qing Nai doesn't read Cyric's words? ”

Rick was the minister of the Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was recorded in the "Zuo Biography" that the Duke of Jin Xiangong once wanted to send the prince Shensheng to lead the troops to crusade against the Gaoluo clan in Dongshan, and Rick stood up to dissuade him and said: "The eldest son (that is, the prince) worships the shrine of the shrine, and the person who eats the monarch is also regarded as the one who eats day and night, so it is called the tomb." The monarch is guarded, there are rules to follow, from the army to the army, to guard the country, and the ancient system. The husband is a commander, he is a master of strategy, he swears to the army, the plan of the king and the country's politics, and it is not the matter of the eldest son. The teacher is just in the control of life, and the life is not authoritative, and the special life is not filial. Therefore, the heir of the monarch is suitable, and he cannot be a handsome teacher. If you lose your official position, the handsome teacher is not prestigious, will you use it? ”

It is to the effect that according to the ancient system, if the king goes on an expedition, he should leave the prince to defend the country, called "prison country", and if he leaves others to defend the country, the prince should follow the king and be called "Fu Jun". Because the expedition is to make his own decisions when he is abroad, and the prince does not have the right to arbitrariness, if he reports something, he will lose the authority of the commander, and if he does not report, he will be unfilial to his father. Therefore, the heir of the monarch cannot lead the army, and once he leads the army, it will be difficult to ensure the smooth operation of the army, or it will be difficult to ensure the monarch's control of the officials, and there will definitely be no good results.

Shi Xun immediately glanced at Chang Lin, and said in his heart that he sent Cao Ang out to calm Jing Xiang back then, why didn't you jump out and quote Rick's words to oppose it? Is it because Cao Ang was not yet the crown prince at that time? Or do you actually have something else in mind......

But in short, keeping the prince in charge of the country is the most in line with the etiquette and customs, the problem is that the etiquette and habits are from the Zhou Dynasty, and there is almost no such system in the Han Dynasty, so there is no old precedent to follow. The current Cao Wei regime has a relatively strict structure, and it is no longer the grass platform team of the past. Then it must be clearly analyzed, and after Cao Cao is gone, how much power Cao Pi has to say and control the government must be carefully planned.

The control is too great, equivalent to the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will definitely not rest assured; Even if you have little control. It's meaningless, it's better to keep the ministers to defend the country, and let the prince join the expedition to "raise the army".

Therefore, the important ministers held a few more small meetings and determined Cao Pi's authority. First of all, even if the original bureaucracy did not have a monarch, if it was not a major event, it could run smoothly, so Cao Pi did not need to meddle - it was useless to meddle in small matters anyway, and major things had to be reported to Cao Cao; Secondly. Led by Cao Pi, Shi Xun, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, Liu Ye and others formed a temporary committee to be responsible for the defense of the surrounding areas of the Beijing Division and the mobilization of troops and the transfer of materials for the Battle of Guanzhong, so as to make the war machine run more efficiently.

So as soon as Cao Cao left Luoyang, this provisional committee began to operate, and Shi Xun first made a few suggestions to Cao Pi, and most of them obtained permission to implement the edict.

Jixun has been in a very depressed mood lately. He felt that he was simply a crow's mouth, and said that Liu Bei might come out of the Meridian Valley. Liu Bei really did it...... originally thought that he could suppress the momentum of Mount Tai and quickly flatten Shu Han - after all, now Cao Weizhi has a much better situation against Shu Han than against Shu Han in the original history, one is that Jiangdong has been flattened, and the other is that the male lord is still there. It is not a powerful vassal to hold the country. Who would have thought that Liu Beibing would make a dangerous move, and there was a faint trend of turning the tables......

Especially...... How could Chang'an City really be lost? According to common sense, Chang'an is a strong city, and there are tens of thousands of troops guarding it, even if it can't go out of the city, it is the enemy. At least there is no problem in holding on, waiting for 350,000 people to attack it - I think that Xun also fought Chang'an back then, and he knows that this city is vast and high, and it is not easy to take it. However, the so-called "one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies", just like Wei Yan's judgment in the original history, Xiahou Nan is a complete waste of snacks, giving him a fortified city is no different from giving a small man, and giving him 30,000 people is no different from giving 3,000 people, anyway, it's just one word - lose!

So can Liu Bei really turn the tables? History has changed beyond recognition, and Shixun really doesn't dare to make any optimistic expectations anymore. In the original history, Cao Cao almost went to save Hanzhong in the past few years, but he returned in vain, and he was almost exhausted just by pulling the armies out of that quagmire. Maybe today's battle of Guanzhong is the battle of Hanzhong in history, Cao Cao finally sighed "chicken ribs" and had to retreat.

The problem is that Guanzhong is by no means a "chicken rib", if it is lost, Liangzhou cannot be guaranteed, it is Xun is once a sentence to calm people's hearts: "Even if Yong and Liang are lost, the country's strength is more than three times that of a thief, why be afraid?!" But in fact, his heart was trembling......

You still have to be fully prepared. First of all, under the premise of financial resources, we should continue to mobilize troops and horses from all over the country to the west, strive to form an all-round advantage over the Shu army, and ensure the smooth implementation of military operations; Secondly, if the battle is unfavorable and things are not coordinated, it is necessary to consolidate the defense of Henan, so that Liu Bei does not have the possibility of taking advantage of the victory to advance eastward.

Therefore, it is Xun who put forward several points, one is to order Huang Zhong, Lu Yi, and Buqi to gather troops and horses, not only to plot against Yonghong and others, but also to quickly stab Liu Bei in the back, and even if possible, send troops directly from Jiaozhi to the south. The second is to order Guo Huai, Hao Zhao and Wei to move westward, ready to reinforce Guanzhong and Liangzhou at any time. The third is to order Cao Ren to march to Sanba in advance.

There is also a fourth, that is, to call Sima Yi as Henan Yin to strengthen control over the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

Sima Yi once assassinated the history of Yongzhou, and was succeeded by Liang Xi last year - Yes Xun has been thinking that if it is Zhongda who is stationed in Chang'an, it is estimated that even if Xiahou Nan is incompetent, this city will not be lost - the reason why he went to work was because his father Sima Fang was seriously ill, and his brother Sima Lang was at a critical juncture when he was competing for the Shangshu of the Ministry of Degrees, so he went home on behalf of his brother to pretend to be a filial son. Now the imperial court can issue an urgent edict asking Sima Yi to enter Beijing as soon as possible - anyway, isn't your father dead yet, state affairs are important.

Cao Pi asked Shixun: "I know that Zhongda is a captain and a tall man, a Hanoi family, and a talented person in the world, but does he know the soldiers?" "It's Xunxin who said that if Sima Yi doesn't know the soldiers, then who knows the soldiers...... In the original history, Zhuge Liang first came out of Qishan, in fact, the battle was not very good, and he used the wrong person, and he gradually became a "genius in the world" later, and Sima Yi commanded the army for the first time, and he destroyed Meng Da's plot in one fell swoop, and his military talent may be even stronger than Kong Ming.

He immediately reported and said: "As a meritorious person, he knows that his people are endowed with military and civilian affairs, and he can also entrust them." ”

However, Cao Pi pondered for a long time, and finally rejected Shi Xun's suggestion: "Zhongda is young, I'm afraid it's not as good as Xin Gezhi." ”

Sima Yi was thirty-five years old at Chinese New Year's Eve, which is actually not young—in terms of the general short life span of people in this year, a man can be regarded as an adult at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and he enters middle age in his thirties, and begins to grow old at forty-six-seven—but among bureaucrats of the same level, he is still flourishing, and his qualifications are also in the middle and lower reaches. Therefore, Cao Pi proposed to use Xin Bi as Henan Yin, and Xin Zuozhi is more than forty years old, and he must be more mature than Sima Yi.

Xin Bina was also a famous minister of Cao Wei - although he had no military experience - Cao Pi insisted on using him, and Shi Xun really couldn't find any good reason to refute it. Moreover, Sima Yi is his own disciple after all, the so-called "internal promotion does not avoid relatives", this has to be something that can only be done by a great sage who is dedicated to the country and does not consider his own reputation......

When the meeting was over, he returned to his mansion and summoned his eldest son Shifu to the study and told him about the decisions of the court today. By the way, he asked Yes Fu: "Xin George and the prince, have you ever been old?" ”

Why did Cao Pi have to let Xin Bi be the Henan Yin? It is said that as soon as Cao Cao left, Cao Pi directly ordered a series of personnel changes, but because there were no more than 2,000 stones, and Chen Qun, a close confidant and secretary of the ministry, gave him a cover, so he would not be opposed by the ministers or cause Cao Cao's dissatisfaction. These personnel changes have many roots to follow, and if they are not from the big families, they are close people in the era of Cao Pi as king, and they are mostly placed in Heluo counties as commanders and chiefs. The reason is also very good: now I am in charge of the logistics of military operations in general, and of course I need some officials who know the whole thing to be able to carry out the decrees smoothly.

Undoubtedly, Cao Pi is the one who has begun to cultivate and train his confidants. Although the crown prince quoted private individuals, it was easy to be suspicious of the emperor, but if the prince did not use personal affairs at all, it would also be considered to be contrary to human feelings, and I am afraid that he had other intentions - the key is not to go too far, and Cao Pi just stepped on this red line perfectly, and easily refused to exceed the rules.

Speaking of which, only this appointment of Henan Yin Zhi is slightly excessive. So is he really dedicated to his country? Or does Simbi actually have something to do with him? Son, you're already in charge of intelligence, do you have any explanation for that?

Hearing the question, he couldn't help but smile faintly and replied: "Xin Gezhi has nothing to do with the prince, but Daddy forgets it, and his son-in-law is a sheep." ”

Ah, it's Xun Xin who said so. Yang Tanzi Tanzhi, is the famous Taishan County after the young son of the famous "Hanging Fish Taishou" Yang Xu, who was Cao Pimenke, and is now the crown prince. This guy married Xin Pi's daughter, who is one of the few famous women in the history of Cao Wei, Xin Xianying, because of this relationship, Xin Pi has been or may be introduced by Cao Pi as a fellow party.

It was Xun Xin who said that I have been paying attention to Yang Tan's brother Yang Yu, waiting to see when his youngest son Yang Hu was born, why did I forget Yang Tan? If you want to say that Yang Wei and I also have a certain tortuous relationship - Yang Wei was originally married to Kong Rong's daughter, and his stepwife was Cai Yan's sister - and Yang Tan and I have no dealings, so I left this ballast behind. Fortunately, there was a son who reminded ...... No, thankfully, I weaved a network of intelligence.

was groaning, and saw that Shi Fu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Shi Xun with both hands: "Recently, according to the Cha Yu clan, there is also a celery offering." "I have investigated all the wealthy families and listed them in a table, Daddy, you must be able to use it. (To be continued.) )
